Trump files suit for defamation

According to Stormy Daniels, doesn't sound like there's much difference in size between his finger and his member

 

The lawsuit is another one of Trump's stunts. If he does pursue the lawsuit Trump will have to testify. A skilled litigator will absolutely destroy him. If I recall his deposition in the original lawsuit didn't go very well for the Donald. Something tells me that he will not subject himself to a repeat.

 

This reminds me of the time I was playing basketball, drove to the basket, a defender clotheslined my neck with his forearm, and he called a foul on me for my neck fouling his forearm.

 

The jury found her so credible, they dismissed her main accusation as a lie. Even though they were not under the same constraints of a criminal trial. (ie prosecution has to prove he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt) He should absolutely sue, out of principle. He’s not going to get any money out of her he doesn’t already have.

 

Yeah, that isn't what happened.

 

Hey, im all for Trump keeping sexual assault in the news for the next year because he lost the suit. That Donald, playing 3d chess

 

I haven’t seen any data to suggest the civil verdict reached by the Democratic laden Trump hating jury who said plaintiff’s core accusation was false had any affect positively or negatively on Trump’s chances in the 2024 general election.

 

Maybe not, he's got so many other problems this probably pales

 

So many other problems, but still leading Biden in so many polls. Your best bet is to pray for the economist to outlast the majority of economists who say we're heading into a recession soon. If we do, Biden is done. It'll be either President Trump or President DeSantis if the economy takes any sort of hit at all. That is the only thing keeping Biden viable.

 

He's probably not going to win and I think he knows that. But that doesn't matter to him.

 

Yes I do realize that. I think he may have also said other things about her as well that may have been part of the basis for her suit but cant recall specifically.

And since you include lawyer in your screen handle here, I’m sure you realize that allowing losing litigants to be liable for defamation claims simply because their claim failed, when it could fail for 1,000 different reasons, isn’t going to happen. And also that he’s a public figure and she’s not, so their respective defamation standards are completely different. He’ll never prove actual malice (especially since the jury found that some penetration occurred by virtue of the sexual assault award) and his claim won’t survive summary judgment.

That’s his Trumpian logic, not orange man bad.

 

I'm shocked that somebody who is a practicing attorney could be so wildly wrong. I usually ignore you because most of your posts seem trollish to me and not worth the response, but I don't want people looking at your username, thinking you have expertise, and buying into the complete nonsense you're spewing here.

The very fact that you think a jury finding him not liable of rape claim means that there is a legal judgment that she lied is just baffling. What it means is that she didn't PROVE he raped her.

You're an attorney. You have to understand how burdens of proof work. In the countersuit, Trump has the burden of proving she lied when she accused him of rape, and that will require him to prove that her rape accusation was false.

 

He’ll never prove actual malice or reckless disregard. Case will be dismissed. May want to take a torts/con law primer.

 

Time will tell who “doesn’t know what they are talking about” but my suspicion is that you’re on the wrong side of this analysis.

If her accusation alone is proof of actual malice (or reckless disregard) against a public figure, then the Donald better open his checkbook as more than anyone in the US he’s spent a lifetime accusing private citizens (who have a much lower standard of proof their claims against him) of doing things they didn’t come close to doing.

Our courts will never allow the full tilt of this slippery slope. And that’s why he’ll ultimately lose bigly on his defamation claim agains Carroll.
